The Warcraft 3 Reforged Hype Train has been derailed

“They didn’t scrap a ton of things.”
They deffinitly did, you’re just blind if you think they didn’t.
“The bad writing that ultimately would have come with that new content would ruin Warcraft 3’s reputation worse than the decision to omit it ever would.”
It’s adding small details that build “[…]a little bridge between Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft and the novels” not doing a entirely new campaign.
That’s why it’s REFORGED, not remastered.

It would still be bad writing. We don’t need bad writing in this game.

Yes, you have.

And no it isn’t. The game’s still in development. It should have been clear from the start that nothing was promised and this was all stuff they’d LIKE to do, but could easily change during development due to feedback or other circumstances.

They never promised anything other than a game entitled Warcraft 3 Reforged that would be demonstrably more than a straight remaster of the original game. The details were always subject to change.

Your fault for getting hyped for things you read about in interviews published by Polygon.

You don’t know that, though. You have evidence of it, but nobody here knows for sure what their original angles were for a fully/more heavily Reforged campaign was going to include in the script.

Whatever new stuff they added would have been bad writing. Doesn’t matter how big or small it would have been.

It would have ruined the game’s reputation either way.

You don’t definitively know that and neither do I or anyone else on the forums.

No, I don’t, but I’m glad we don’t have to find out anymore.

You guys may be okay with that possibility, I’m not.

I have an aversion to risks like this.

Yeah because the writing in the OG Warcraft 3 was pulitzer worthy, while blizzard themselfs admitted there were just placeholder texts used.

You people are utterly mad.

It was still a damn sight better than anything they’ve put out since 2009, and that’s if I’m being generous. If I’m being real, it’s better than anything they’ve done since 2006.

Sheep? Lol. Who gave you the entitlement to have jurisdiction over somebody else’s interests and choices?

To me it sounds like you’re the sheep on the hype train of crying at blizzard for not catering to every little thing you want.

I am also sad that it will be just a re-skin, and that no new unit types are coming to the game, such as groundwalking onyxia style dragons, or drakes such as Ebonroc.

refund , is the best option i dont understand the people who defend blizzard that just stupid

No a good portion of people are still hyped.

Don’t claim you know what everyone feels. Great way to get discredited real quick.

Imagine being so low IQ you try to imply that someone expecting a product to include things it was marketed to have as crying and entitled.

That’s pretty hypocritical, great way to get discredited real quick.

Sorry that i’m not following the hate bandwagon that forums like to ride.

You’ll buy the game and so will most people here. It’s fake internet outrage and nothing more.

Yup, i’ll still buy it but nothing about this ‘outrage’ is fake I am genuinely pissed after everything they have cut and will continue to be.

Im not angry with Blizzard, im a bit disappointed, but only with the cinematics, i want them with new graphics. If they give me that RoC super hd cinematic trailer and the rest is WC3 ones but less blurry, i feel a bit robbed : / and the ingame cinematic of Straholme was great, too bad they put it in the trash, what a waste.

Hyped for what, exactly?

No trolling, just genuinely curious. Half the promised features were cut, the game is supposed to release in less than 2 months, 2 races out of the four aren’t even on the beta in a testable format, a bunch of units are about to get gender-swapped without having recorded voices to match them, and the beta itself looks like a tech alpha without functioning portraits, appropriate color panels, and is replete with jittery movement.

Things aren’t looking great.
